Grilled pork chop and eggs with grits and biscuits and gravy.
Troy P.

Great cafe food where you order counter side and serve yourself the coffee, drinks, condiments and flatware and paper napkins. The food and atmosphere makes you think you'd see waitresses greeting guests and refilling coffee cups but it's all sit and serve yourself. They do bring the hot food orders to your table and everything we ordered was delicious. The fresh cake slices at the counter looked very good and the lady taking money at the counter was very nice. A good breakfast at a good price.

Chorizo and eggs did not have cheese?? I thought that maybe it would sso I did not ask for it on the "extras" menu

This place can get VERY packed and busy on a weekend. The boyfriend and I have come here twice for breakfast/brunch. You order at the counter,and the food comes out pretty quick. My thing is that I don't like how I am always seeming to need to add more to my plate? Things that I feel have been sstandard in diners? -Grits don't come seasoned-- they were plain. I had to add hella salt and pepper. -The boyfriend had to add a lot of things to his huevos rancheros scrambled eggs-- cheese,onion,bell pepper,cheese.not come on scrambled eggs. Of course the extras are only .35/each, but it can add up?? At least they ask if you want corn/flour tortillas when getting a mexican inspired dish. The staff is friendly enough for being extremely busy and I liked all of the antique pictures and odds and ends around the dining room... Maybe we should come back and try a lunch or dinner menu item, but as far as I feel, this place is JUST OK. And it might be popular because the food comes out fast and people know it's an ordinary type of place?

Eggs, Shredded Hash Browns, Biscuits & Gravy

Breakfast was very good and food came out fast. I've been meaning to try this place as I heard it was a good spot for breakfast. It was just as described and a nice break from places that try to be hip or cute just to fail in the food and service. I look forward to going back.

Had a bacon cheese burger with onion rings and it was so good. It wasn't greasy and cooked perfectly.

Wow this place was a total sleeper. Every dish completely blew me away! Decided to try someplace…read morenew yesterday and saw this little downtown Frisco spot. Going in there was live music and prompt wait staff. Our waitress had a great attentiveness, and passed my water refill test with flying colors. Felt like a hole in the wall joint, and I can honestly say I was a bit skeptical when I saw the expansive menu that seemed to have everything. Boy was I in for a treat. We were hungry so we ended up ordering quite a bit, and every bite was excellent. Rarely does a place standout with ever dish. + Mahi ceviche was fresh and excellent + Cobb salad with chicken had a perfect amount of blue cheese and dressing + Redfish and grits blew my mind. Is was SPICY which I loved. Honestly I'll be dreaming about that one... + Salmon and orzo was fantastic as well. Perfect crispy outside but tender flakey inside. + Kids Mac and cheese was even fancy and great I will note that prices are a bit high but you get large portions, and frankly the quality was exquisite. Least to say, we'll be back!

I am so sick and tired of restaurants getting hyper-commercial frozen garbage and pretending like…read morethey're actually cooking something. 90% of the places around here are just using taking boxes of frozen whatever and passing it off like their actually cooking food. Hadn't been to Didi's in quite a while and was craving a burger. I had had enough of nearly everything within a 3 mile radius and remembered that Didi's used to have good food. Holy, the burger was Exactly what I was looking for. Not some box of patties, but actually a hamburger made like an actual restaurant should make. Made there in the kitchen with a blend of meats (I asked the waitress after I finished). And I can't STAND all the garbage fries served as nothing but cheap calorie fillers so I tried the elote (corn). Ordered the elote corn here and omg, I literally could not have cooked it better myself. And I've tried to nail a taste like this. I'm sure this sounds contrived. But i have no dog in this hunt, just noting that this is how a restaurant is supposed to deliver and it did. Very refreshing, will be back next week.

He's British and wanted to find some really good Fish and Chips. I had high hopes, especially since this was a "Pub". Pub's over in England have the BEST food! He ordered Fish and Chips and I ordered a Patty Melt. The waitress brought us out drinks (waters) and we waited. And waited. And still waited. There was a couple at the table next to us and they were waiting also. FINALLY the Fish and Chips arrived, it was SO exciting! Well, I should say it was just the Fish and Chips that arrived. The lady at the table next to us had ordered the Fish and Chips also. The gentleman next to us had to wait for his food just a little bit longer, and when it came I saw that it was a hamburger. I was the only one now who was still waiting on their meal. At this point I was thinking of just canceling my order because it was taking so long, but then it finally appeared. I looked at the chips and thought to myself, "what are these?" They did not resemble the Chips that we were accustomed to having. I was hoping for thick slices of potato, like Steak Fries or Cottage Fries. These resembled thick slices of potato chips and they really weren't thick at all. My husband continued to eat his meal. I looked at his meal and thought "why is that one piece of fish over on the left side of his plate/tray?" It looked overcooked. Really overcooked. He didn't look very pleased. Come to find out, it wasn't just over-cooked, it was also dry. And it was a very small portion. Please note: he ordered the larger portion, not the half portion. But it was really small. We both continued to eat our meals and then asked for the bill, paid and then left. As usual, we always discuss the new places we visit on the way home. We both agreed this time. We had high hopes. But the Fish and Chips were not as authentic some reviewers have mentioned. So we most likely won't be back. Which is too bad, because it is a really cute place and we really wanted to like it. On to the next. Hopefully some day we will find some really good Fish and Chips.

I met up with a few friends for brunch today. The place was highly reviewed so we thought we'd give…read moreit a try, unfortunately this was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant was small, not too busy, w/ cute decor. When I arrived, I found my friends seated in the very back near the kitchen and restroom, which was my first issue with the experience. Since I was late, I did not make a fuss of it because I was unsure if all the other tables were full when my friends arrived. For appetizers, they ordered the deviled eggs, bacon and Brussels sprouts, all of which they enjoyed. For our entrees, a friend of mine and I ordered the avocado toast with no egg. Unfortunately, they removed the egg along with everything else so we were served cold "toast" and avocado (sadly, my friend actually had bits of browned avocado and just chose to not eat her food at all). Since we could not find our server, I asked another server that was nearby for a piece of hot toast along with the additional toppings that were not added, so I could try and rectify the situation myself, which he kindly brought. The issue with this was that he only brought a piece of hot toast and I had to ask for the ingredients again. Sadly, after all that, it was still very below subpar, flavorless, and worst of all, it was 18$. The home fries were delicious though, even though they weren't hot. Another friend ordered the burger and requested it cooked well done (since the menu said it is typically cooked medium), she even let the server know that she wanted it that way bc medium would upset her stomach. The burger came out and looked beautiful, with all the right fixins', however it was cooked medium. Once again, our server was nowhere to be found, so we asked a nearby server to have it remade which he did. When they brought it out again, we were assured it was made well done, however when she cut it, it was in fact medium. They kindly remade it, and the third time was a charm. They were kind enough to even Comp it and the chef even came out as well, which was nice. Another friend ordered the lobster roll, apparently when they first ordered appetizers, but when it took so long to arrive, the server let us know she had not put the order in because she thought it was an entree. This was an honest mistake/ miscommunication, this also occurred at the beginning of our experience so it was not a big deal. Despite the fact that 3 of the 4 of us did not enjoy our food or had issues, one of my friends DID enjoy her food, so we will take that as a win (especially since she's pregnant so we really needed her to enjoy her meal)!!! I understand and appreciate the service and hospitality industry, but with that being said, I want to feel valued and appreciated as a guest. This whole experience was truly upsetting. It seemed like no matter how clearly we communicated our orders and requests, they were disregarded. I also understand that mistakes happen, as do miscommunications but that fact that it was constant, just showed a lack of care for us as guests. And to top all of this off, our server that was really not very attentive, and was hard to find at times. I do appreciate the restaurants attempts to fix the issues but unfortunately the amount of errors is something I can't not ignore. I can wholeheartedly say I/we will never return to this restaurant.

My partner and I recently moved to the area and were scouting for places with gluten free options…read more Bavette was at the top of the list. Indeed, much of their menu is gluten free. Service was great...attentive without being overbearing. Our drink order arrived quickly, and the flight of shareables + salad that we ordered came out quickly as well. We selected the spinach dip with corn chips and salsa, deviled eggs, croquettes, and estilo gaucho. Our favorite was the croquettes with their very tasty coulis and remoulade sauce. However, everything was fresh with great flavor. Delicious! We also appreciated Bavette's open kitchen, comfortable booths, and classy vibe. We'll be back.

The inside was smaller than I anticipated but I really liked the aesthetic of the place. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the very friendly host and taken to a nice booth seat. My server Joshua was also friendly and made quite a few recommendations on what to order; I decided on the deviled eggs to start and got the butcher burger for my entree. I can't believe I'd encounter the day I didn't like a deviled egg. I didn't care for these deviled eggs at all. Something about the seasoning in the eggs didn't work for me, I thought the egg white part was really thick and tough and the candied bacon on top didn't work for me as far as cohesive flavors. The burger though made up for it, the burger was very good. I could taste the quality of the meat and the toppings weren't carrying the burger, the meat was thoroughly seasoned throughout, I really enjoyed it. The fries were great as well, skinny, crisp and piping hot. I wasn't a fan of their ketchup, there was some flavor in it that I didn't appreciate. I got a pistachio tres leches to go and it was just ok. I love tres leches cake, so naturally, if it's on the menu, I'm ordering it and I could see this being a fan favorite but it was way too wet to me, like drenched to the point where the cake disintegrated in my mouth and I prefer a less saturated tres leches. Other than the burger, everything else was kinda mid. I do wish the menu had more options, and honestly, I don't see myself returning just for the burger. But the burger was good, so try it for yourself

The restaurant reminded me of a local burger spot you'd find in California, which I loved and made me feel right at home. The burgers were tasty and definitely hit the spot. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because the fries were a little too salty, and I wish there was more indoor seating. They have plenty of outdoor seating, but with the Texas heat right now, it's just too hot to sit outside comfortably. All in all, we had a great experience. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try, and we'll be visiting again!

For a weeknight it was busy so they have their following. I got my food to go so can't speak towards service other than to say my interactions were fine. The food, this is where they dropped the ball. I ordered the barn burner and stuffed Jalapenos. The stuffed jalos are unique with chicken ranchero stuffing. They were a nice bite but not a flavor that resonated with me. The burger in the other hand, oh boy! It looked good, but the pattie was on the rare side, probably medium rare. They didn't ask me about how to prep it, some places don't but they usually don't serve them rare either. I gave it a shot but it was off-putting. :( I also wish the barn burner had more heat but that's more subjective imo. Since I took mine to go I couldn't really ask them to fix it. :( Anyway based on the crowd and other reviews it's probable my experience is not typical, but I would suggest double -cheking the cook on your patty if you get it to go.
